A member asked:
I think my adult tooth is falling out! can i stop this from happening if it's early enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly...: If the tooth is loose, the only way to 1) determine why and 2) save the tooth is to call a local dentist for an appointment. Your dentist will determine why the tooth is loose, and what treatment, if any, can arrest the problem. The longer you wait the slimmer the chances.
